Lau

I have been following this photographer for a while. Lau takes incredibly "silent" pictures. They have the "wow-effect".... for me they have anyway. But you can see it for yourself:-)

I have never defined myself as a photographer. I dont see my self as a photographer, but more like a photo-enthusiast. I have had a couple of compact cameras, and I was taking snapshots and holiday photos. More than once I have looked at a DSLR camera, but I barely know what was up and down of it. So I didnt do anything about it.

One day about 2 years ago, I was at my sisters birthday party and I was playing with her camera, a Nikon D80, that she recently bought. To look into the wievfinder, and the fact that the zoom was not a button, but something I had to turn on the lence, was something so speciel for me. One click at the shooter, the sound of the mirror clapped, and I was sold. And I started to look after a DSLR that was right for me, as well as finding the money to it. And I started to watch a lot of videos on youtube, about photographing, and I read almost everything on the internet about camera and photographing.

I chose a Canon EOS 550D. It is now 1½ years old, and I have taken almost 15.000 photos. I´ve also got 4 lences, a flash and other epuipment in the bag. And I am already considering to by a fullframe camera. Mostly because I would like to control ISO better, and also because I would like to have a better sensor and a rubust house. But that is a big investment. I like to try new things and experimenting with photos. I am faschinated by lightpainting and long exposiure. Its exciting that you only can see the result when you did take the picture. When I have been out shooting pictures, I am so excited to go home and process the images. For the most part I process in Lightroom. I think it can compares with evokes.
